Journal entry by Melanie McCall —
On behalf of Kay and everyone in Russell’s family, thank you SO much for all the support and love you have showered upon us. The last few weeks, and the eight days in particular, have been incredibly difficult, and at times the loss of our sweet Russ has all seemed too much to bear. But we HAVE born it, because we are being held up by your love, prayers, and arms around us. We know that Russell is proud to know you, and so are we. Thank you for your patience as the following details have been worked out.
